    This drive is small and easy to carry anywhere. I use it on my Apple MacBook Pro as a second hard drive to run Windows using Parallels. It performs well enough that I can do what I need to do in Windows. Also, when it's on sale, it is a great value bonus.

    I have two of these. One for my Xbox one which works flawlessly. My Xbox starts and runs faster and I’m the first one into the pre game lobby. I have second one for my computer. Does what it is supposed to.

    Thin, lightweight, small and quick. Very versatile backup drive. I actually use it as a backup drive on my PS4. While not a dramatic increase, my load times on a few games have seen some improvement. I imagine this would make a very good media drive for travel and for laptops.

    I was really impressed with the small size and solid build quality. It is the fastest drive I have ever used and I work a lot with computers. Comes with a built in security feature that makes it so you have to enter in a password before you have access to the data inside

    This hard drive is the boom!! The read and write speeds are incredible. The fastest I have used to date. The size is incredible and you will not even know that you are carrying this drive with you daily. Can believe the extra room I gained in my backpack by moving to this drive.

    I previously purchased the T3 250gig drive for video editing. Super fast drive! Had to purchase this 2nd drive to house more un-editing video while still using my T3 to house my editing program along with the files I'm currently working on. These are great little drives

    I love this little SSD hard drive. I use it on my Xbox series X and it's got faster download speeds and it's very small in size. Formatting it with the Xbox is a painless system that was very fast and easy to follow.

    I used this for Tesla dash-cam. At first, I was using a memory stick but it would only work for a few week before it got corrupted. After I got this SSD, it work flawlessly. Plus the size allow for a lot of video from sentry mode.

    I love this fast little hard drive. I'm used to reading about how fast a drive is and it's just about always "not as advertised"- This thing is super fast, and I love the portability and weight of it. Great drive- hopefully these replace standard backup drives soon

    Essential way to back up data and photos

    Without moving parts, this external drive is the fastest and most reliable method of backing up your data. Unplug and go - no delay in waiting for your hard drive to stop spinning or getting damaged. It's a little more costly but well worth the peace of mind

    If you're looking for a small SSD. this is an excellent product. It's easy to transport due to its size, and has a good amount of space for storing/backing up your documents or photos. No complaints. The structure is solid. I highly recommend this.

    I haven't used one before now, a friend had recommended it, and I have to say I was impressed with the speeds that I got from it. It's ultra light weight, and has a fast download speed especially when pared with USB type c. Would highly recommend.

    I needed more storage space for my Macbook Pro and using FCPX for video editing. I love that this drive is very discreet and small. It's very fast for both read and write and works perfectly as an external library for FCPX.

    I bought this SSD to store 4K video and images from a drone. I also wanted the drive to be fast so I could edit right from the drive. It is extremely fast and very small. I like it so much I took it back and paid the difference for the 1tb model.

    Very tiny, portable, and light. I had no problem editing footage stored on it using FCPX connected via the USB cable. Have yet to drop it or test the durability, but I think it should hold up to most short falls from a table.

    Outstanding drive! Made Mac Mini new again!

    This drive would be great for any reason; however, this was purchased due to an aging 2014 Mac Mini that has an old internal 5400 hard drive that was, more or less, becoming unusable due to the load times of everything. Instead of purchasing an entire new system, we decided to try to just use this as the primary drive and bypass the internal one. And, it worked! This sub-$100 solid state drive now has our Mac Mini humming along like it's brand new. Things load nearly instantly, and it now has year's of life left in it. So, for that reason, I cannot recommend it enough. That's not to say that if I just needed an extra external drive as a backup that I would not get this, either. It's a great drive, extremely fast, more than enough memory, and at a decent price. Highly recommended!
